The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision not to review a Nebraska city’s ordinance that bans renting homes to immigrants living in the country illegally could open the door to similar laws elsewhere, supporters said Monday, though they’re likely to encounter fresh legal challenges.

Attorney Kris Kobach, who defended the ordinance, said Monday’s decision gives a “bright green light” for other cities within the 8th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals that want to adopt such laws. The circuit includes Arkansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, and the Dakotas.

Still, any city that chooses to adopt such an ordinance would almost certainly face a costly legal fight from advocacy groups that are working to stop them. Earlier this year, the justices declined attempts by two other towns – in Pennsylvania and Texas – to revive similar laws that had been struck down by lower courts. But unlike the Pennsylvania and Texas ordinances, the Fremont rules do not impose penalties on immigrants.

The Fremont ordinance requires renters to get a $5 permit and swear that they have legal permission to live in the United States. First approved in 2010, the ordinance has survived several legal challenges and an attempt to repeal it at the ballot box in February.

The ACLU and Hispanic advocacy groups are, predictably, moaning about discrimination and how mean this law is. But Nebraska gets it right here: the simple fact of the matter is that illegal immigrants broke the law and, quite frankly, have no right to be in this country at all.

Well some of these comments are unfair but oh well life is unfair. But there are illegal immigrants that came to the usa because they were born in a corrupted country where education doesnt count. Here in the us getting a license for a specific job or even an associate degree, you can have a decent living. I think that they need to give these ppl a chance to become legal. Also there are immigrants that come here to just simply take advantage and get wellfare without a job. But did u americans know that a lot of americans immigrate to other countries to get free tuition? American does not offer free tuition but from what i know central and south america offer free tuition and the only thing you have to pay is for books. Americans transfer their credits and take an exam and bam they saves thousands of dollars and they are making so much money. There is pros and cons to everything. America is one of the most succesful countries and values education as well as labor. So ppl dont judge!

I for one believe in amnesty. The actual idea of the American Dream is alive in the same good people that this law is meant to hurt. A damn shame. I find that picture attached to this “article” of people celebrating, who are actually jumping for joy, very bothersome and the opposite of patriotism. Who am I to judge, right?-It seems like most of you folks already took care of that part…

A large portion of the toxic mortgages were those of illegal aliens that were not qualified. As it is against the law to hire illegal aliens (Immigration Reform Act of 1986 – not enforced), it should be against the law for them to own property, be granted a mortgage, rent housing of any sort. If they can’t find somewhere to live and can’t find work immigration is enforced and the illegal issue takes care of itself.
